Considered Collectively is a web app that allows you to track and follow bills in the United States Congress.The application is built using Python, Flask, Bootstrap 5, and deployed on Heroku using a PostgreSQL database.
-
Front-End:
- In Use: HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap 5 (alpha) using templates built with Jinja.
- Not in used: JQuery (because it's 2020).
-
Back-End:
- In Use: Python, Flask, PostgreSQL, and Bcrypt.
- DATABASE:
- Data is stored in a many-to-many PostgreSQL database on Heroku.
- User password data is encrypted using Bcrypt.
- Bills are only saved when a user clicks on "Follow The Bill". This saves space on the server.
- Bills are updated every morning when an external cron job makes a request to a secret route, allowing for the user to see the latest bills whenever they login.
- DATA USED:
All Functions will be broken down and unit tested wherever possible. This section is still a WIP, more to come soon.
